Children deserve supportive child care. Families need affordable child care. Child care workers deserve fair pay and working conditions.
This rally is part of the 10 Days of Action in Support of $10aDay Child Care:

Families need @fordnation to step up and fully fund:
✅ Fair wages for ECEs to address recruitment.
✅ Expansion of public child care. Otherwise markets that aren’t “profitable” will keep being left behind.
That’s how we end waitlist stress & child care deserts.

Parents like Alex in Parry Sound need action now to expand the $10/day child care program, so that there is a space for every child.
Especially in rural communities, families in ‘child care deserts’ are being left behind.

New: Ontario gov’t to charge child-care centres in gov’t buildings “full market-rate rents” in 2025, rather than nominal amounts.
It says operators “should be able to offset the cost increases with federal funding” through $10/day program

While this new funding formula aims to make child care funding more streamlined, it does not improve compensation for educators and raises 🚩red flags on profit making. We need every dollar going to improve quality care for kids! #WorthMore
